Here are five insights:
1. Researchers studied data from 16,087 subjects in a single-center randomized controlled screening trial.
2. The trial included four parallel groups — biennial fecal immunochemical test for three rounds; reduced and full cathartic preparation CT colonography; and optical colonoscopy.
3. The researchers found that participation was different across the four screening methods.
4. However, detection rates of advanced neoplasia were different only between CT colonography and biennial fecal immunochemical the groups.
5. The researchers concluded that “the combination of lower attendance and higher detection rates of screening CTC as compared with FIT are key factors for the optimization of its role in population screening of CRC.”
